Apologies for not providing more detail. This does seem to be X-related -- but the symptom set doesn't precisely match that of 411831.

Debian unstable (sid)

xorg 1:7.4+1
xserver-xorg 1:7.4+1
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.1-1

X claims it's using EXA in the log: EXA: (==) intel(0): Using EXA for acceleration

inconsistent with description of bug 411831:
- setting "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" doesn't resolve problem (not surprising since EXA is being used...)
- the 'black box' problem (comments 103/107) isn't observed
- the 'invisible image' problem (comment 104) isn't observed

consistent with bug 411831:
- grabbing the image and dragging shows the correct image in the drag window (consistent with comment 99).

Interestingly, the gray line artifacts aren't present when acceleration is turned off (Option "NoAccel"). Perhaps this behavior is limited to the intel video driver (and thus only affects a few users)?
